qti2latex - Convert QTI XML to LaTeX exam file

qti2latex converts a QTI XML file (version 1.2) to a LaTeX exam file. it is designed to work with text2qti (https://github.com/gpoore/text2qti), which does not support all possible question types. it should work with export QTI files from canvas for supported question types. it uses the exam document class (https://ctan.org/pkg/exam).

both qti2latex and exporting exams from canvas will produce a QTI zip file that can be used with qti2latex.

if there are question groups (a set of questions that can be chosen from), qti2latex will pick them at random. the --choose-item option can be used the select a specific question instead of choosing at random.

Supported Question Types

• Multiple Choice (single answer)
• Multiple Choice (multiple answers)
• True/False
• Short Answer
• Numerical
• Essay

Bonus questions

QTI doesn't support bonus questions, a question that starts with (bonus X points) or bonus (X points) will be treated as a bonus question worth X points.
